Here is another reason for me to quit smoking (AGAIN!!! hahaha), there have been proposals made between Department of Health and anti-tobacco advocate Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance Philippines (FCAP) to increase the tax of cigarettes from P2.47 to P4.50 per stick. That would mean that the price of cigarettes would range from P5.50 to P7.50, and a pack from P97 to P190. This would still be increase if the you happen to bought it on street vendors or ‘Takatak Boys” (hehehehe). [Read the rest of this entry...]
Now this song is one of track I do not remove from my playlist especially on my phone. I found this band while I was looking for a cheap cd on a local music store and if my memory serves right, I think that was 7 years ago.

I friend of mine decided to put up a business and it would be about medical laboratory services. She then ask me a favor if I could provide them a good logo design that they could use for their company. So I was thinking of making a logo that is simple yet bold and attractive. Furthermore, I was thinking of designing one that they could integrate on their business cards, letter head, brochures, website and even on the signage they would be using outside their laboratory.

I find it cool when people use technology into their arts and performances because they bring their masterpieces to the next level by being able to incorporate and use present technologies to make a new kind of media. They wanted innovation and still keeps on doing it because they do not want their art to be stagnant. They are the kind of artists who are not afraid to try new things and improve their crafts.
I was intrigue and astonished when I saw the video above showing the innovative spinner named, DJ Cheeba. He gave an audiovisual masterpiece by using some cutting edge technology and combines it with music to showcase what is the Beck’s Vier ‘Music Inspires Art’ Programme all about. What he did was give mixing to a new artistic horizon and innovation by using rigged beer taps that play samples and 600 LED lit bottles. [Read the rest of this entry...]

“The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we haven’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day’. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.” — Grey’s Anatomy
